Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes the relationship between the generosity of unemployment insurance (UI) benefits, which includes the portion of previous wages covered by unemployment insurance (Replacement Rate) as well as the duration of those benefits, available to an individual and the individual’s likelihood of being self-employed. Current literature on the topic of self-employment supports the idea that self-employment, which is, on average, less-secure and lower-paying than wage and salary work, is less desirable than wage and salary work to most Americans. Using a logistic (logit) regression and individual-level data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey March 2019 Annual Social and Economic Supplements (ASEC), this paper tests the hypothesis that generosity of unemployment insurance is inversely correlated with likelihood of self-employment. This hypothesis is guided by the intuition that if unemployment benefits are sufficiently generous, displaced workers will take advantage of the safety net and spend more time searching for wage and salary work. On the other hand, if unemployment benefits are not sufficient to allow displaced workers time to find desirable employment, many will go to work for themselves out of necessity. For the wider economy, self-employment means increased entrepreneurial activity and could lead to job growth, as new small businesses grow and eventually hire more employees. Policymakers may therefore wish to enact policies that encourage self-employment. The findings of this study show evidence for an inverse relationship between Replacement Rate and self-employment for individuals in states with Replacement Rates in the lower half of the range, but evidence for a direct relationship for those in states with Replacement Rates in the higher half of the range. This could be interpreted to mean that some individuals receiving very low benefits are pushed into self-employment because they are unable to survive on UI long enough to find more desirable wage or salary work, but those receiving generous benefits and who would prefer self-employment are able to take advantage of the safety net provided by UI to invest time and resources into starting their own businesses.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents an analysis of the transition from unemployment to self-employment and its subsidisation with the so-called "bridging allowance" in Germany. On the basis of econometric models, the determinants and the success of self-employment among former unemployed are estimated at the individual as well as at the firm level. By comparing different groups of the formerly unemployed, it becomes evident that self-employment is one successful route out of unemployment, as self-employment proves to be more stable than paid-employment. Therefore, the bridging allowance reaches its aim of regaining stable employment for the unemployed. However, this programme fails to create additional employment in the newly founded firms.

This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses theoretical aspects and evidences related to designing labor market institutions in emerging market and developing economies. This note reviews the state of theory and evidence on the design of labor market institutions in a developing economy context and then reviews its consistency with actual labor market advice in a selected set of emerging and developing economies. The focus is mainly on three broad sets of institutions that matter for both workers’ protection and labor market efficiency: employment protection, unemployment insurance and social assistance, minimum wages and collective bargaining. Text mining techniques are used to identify IMF recommendations in these areas in Article IV Reports for 30 emerging and frontier economies over 2005–2016. This note has provided a critical review of the literature on the design of labor market institutions in emerging and developing market economies, and benchmarked the advice featured in IMF recommendations for 30 emerging market and frontier economies against the tentative conclusions from the literature.
